The aim of this paper is to determine the elements in the art work of preschool children that would indicate artistic talent. Dealing with children from an early age, systematic enrichment and organizing additional education is the most common form of recognition of that specific talent. First of all it is necessary to detect the artistically gifted children and in order for educators to be able to do that they need knowledge and skills. It is assumed that artistically gifted children will use more details in their drawings, use real forms of objects, upgrade the works with coloristic elements and show the proportions more realistically. The research was conducted in the ''Pčelica'' kindergarten in Zagreb which held 50 children, aged 5.5 to 7.5 years. In examining the presence of elements of creative thinking Urban's and Jelllen's Test of Creative was used which is based on drawing with certain pictorial stimuli. The results of the research showed that the largest number of children achieved an average number of points on the test. A large number of patterns are present in the drawings, especially for girls. The results indicate that today the highly creative potential is present in small number of children.
